Charger SRT8 vs Chevy SS (sorry if its a repeat thread)

I'm not gonna lie, I think this is probably the most bogus results I've ever seen. The Charger beat the SS at every performance metric and still lost? I know I might be classed a fanboy but its bs from my unbiased point of view.

sorry if its a repeat thread.

Charger beat the SS in every performance metric? Did you read the comparo? The only victory for the Dodge was straight line speed, by 3 tenths. Braking distance was a wash, 1-foot to the Charger.

The chassis scoring alone killed the Charger, and the 6-speed auto in the SS was favored over the 5-speed in the SRT, which cancelled out the points won by the 470 hp hemi.

Hahaha you count every acceleration milestone as a win for the Charger? Wtf are you on. Also 1-foot advantage in braking means nothing, it could easily be two runs by the same car.

Again, read the article and go over the scoring. There was a huge difference overall that couldn't have been overcome even if they gave the acceleration 10 extra points for the few tenths advantage the hemi had. The SS is a much better driver's car.

"the Dodge’s inferiority creeps into its cabin like a haze of burnt rubber. Some of us preferred a few of the interi­or-trim finishes and liked the comfort and support of the thickly bolstered SRT seats, but overall material quality and refinement fall short of the overachieving Chevy’s."

"The Chevrolet is more pleasant to cruise in, too, with great seats all around and premium-looking details. The SS doesn’t have the supercharged pull or the premium price tag of the burly CTS-V, but it feels like the Caddy’s equal in refinement and overall quality"

If all you did was look at 0-30, 0-60 etc, that would explain your confusion. Reading the article, it was clear the SS was just a much better car.

Who cares..Chevy is not going to sell any more of these than Pontiac did with the G8. Expect huge discounts..like $10K off window sticker by years end.Also a new Charger is due later this yr, with new interior and 8-speeds. Heck the current charger is going on 3yrs since it refresh.
